You can either have madplay decode everything in one go:

     madplay -o out.wav *.mp3

(in this case there is only one output)

or if you need individual output files you can use some shell scripting 
to decode files one-at-a-time:

     for file in *.mp3; do madplay -o $file.wav $file; done

The above is for Bourne-derived shells; hopefully yours is not of Csh 
variety.
